NYC Anarchist Book Fair 2010
Another Year of the Economic Crisis
17 April 2010
Tamiment Library

The economic crisis is an energy crisis is an ecological crisis. Two years into the worst economic disaster since the Great Depression, our so-called leaders are declaring victory and preparing to move on â mainly because they've successfully bailed out the biggest U.S. financial institutions. But for millions of unemployed, the Crash isn't going away. In fact, it highlights the need for a new economic order that addresses the human, environmental, and energy-related damage wrought by the state-capitalist system. Eric Laursen and Wayne Price update the overview of the post-Crash economy that they presented at last year's book fair and lay out the elements of an anarchist response.

Eric Laursen is a longtime anarchist activist and organizer. As an independent journalist, he has covered Wall Street and the economy for more than 20 years. He is co-author of Understanding the Crash, forthcoming from Soft Skull Press.

Wayne Price is a longtime political activist and currently a member of the U.S.-Northeastern Federation of Anarchist-Communists (US-NEFAC). He is author of Anarchism and Socialism: Reformism or Revolution? and The Abolition of the State.
